Omar M. Yaghi

Omar M. Yaghi (born 1965 in Amman, Jordan) is a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Omar M. Yaghi studied at the University at Albany, The State University of New York, where in 1984 he received his Bachelor. 1990 doctorate Yaghi at the University of Illinois. He then spent three years as a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow at Harvard. Then he was at Arizona State University before the University of Michigan as a Robert W. Parry Collegiate Professor joined in 1999. Since January 2006 he has been at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Yaghi research areas is chemical structures that store hydrogen or carbon dioxide and release it when needed.
